Ginger, so named for the color of his hair, is a London window washer who is irresponsible in most aspects of his life. He and his best mate Dwyer, who lives in the room next to his in a shabby rooming house, share everything, including their dates, they often switching rooms in the middle of the night without even telling the young women who are already in their respective beds. Ginger is always on the lookout for his next date, whether it be through the windows he washes or already on a date. It is through one of those windows that he meets elderly Gunge, a patient in a hospital whose unique but well kept and spacious apartment Ginger temporarily moves in to. And it is on one of his dates with another woman - Babette - that he meets Carole and Jill. While he asks Carole out as the seemingly more outgoing of the pair, Ginger is really more interested in Jill, he using Carole to get to Jill. In believing that Jill may be the one, Ginger begins to have a more responsible view of life in general, including treating Jill with a certain respect that he has never shown to another woman. But Ginger does not have the best of role models of respect and commitment in his yet again pregnant sister Cecily and her husband Issur's marriage, Issur who is arguably even more irresponsible in marriage and life than him of which Cecily is aware and accepts.
